154 first-hand accounts of flood events in Utah, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
A weak northern stream shortwave trough moving through the northwest CONUS resulted in the development of high based convection. Some of this convection resulted in strong to severe wind gusts.

Read the full account →Monsoonal moisture made a strong push toward the Four Corners region on July 15th. This moisture intercepted a stalled surface trough over southeast Utah which resulted in thunderstorms producing very heavy rainfall.
Read the full account →Heavy thunderstorm downpours produced localized flash flooding in Southern Salt Lake and portions of Utah counties. The rain produced a mudslide in Alpine, causing extensive damage to one home. About 20 homes in Pleasant Grove reported basement flooding.

Read the full account →A major Pacific storm system slowly moved east over Utah and brought incredible amounts of rain and snow to most locations. Strong southwest flow ahead of an upper level trough tapped tropical moisture southwest of Hawaii.
Read the full account →Heavy rain producing thunderstorms resulted in flash flooding at and around Arches National Park and the nearby DOE Atlas tailings cleanup site, including Highway 191 and State Road 128.
Read the full account →Saturated soil conditions from the previous day of flooding and heavy rain left conditions favorable for rapid rainfall runoff in the Uintah Basin.

Read the full account →Moisture increased over Utah beginning July 14, but the air near the surface remained dry, so gusty winds due to thunderstorms were more common than flash flooding on the 14th.

Read the full account →Severe Weather developed on this date. 1" of rain in 30 minutes caused minor flooding to occur on Parley's Creek in Sugar House Park. Hail 1" in diameter and flash flooding occurred in the Kanab area. US-HWY 89 was closed due to flooding just east of Kanab.
Read the full account →Monsoonal moisture continued to allow thunderstorms to dump copious amounts of rain across southern Utah. During the early afternoon a couple of thunderstorms moved through Sevier county. A weather spotter in Freemont Junction received 2.02" in 65 minutes.
Read the full account →A day after monsoonal moisture first moved into Utah, the lower levels of the atmosphere began to moisten, allowing for heavier rain storms to develop.
